Crescimento somático de crianças e adolescentes brasileiros

Abstract: OBJETIVOS: apresentar o perfil de desenvolvimento somático de crianças e adolescentes brasileiros de 7 a 17 anos; propor normas de avaliação para o crescimento e comparar o comportamento das curvas de estatura e massa corporal dessas crianças e adolescentes com as curvas da referência internacional.. MÉTODOS: amostra composta por 55679 escolares de 72 municípios brasileiros. Foram consideradas as medidas de estatura e massa corporal. Para as análises descritivas, foram consideradas as escalas percentílicas (pe… Show more

“…It can be used to obtain information on individuals' health status or nutritional wellbeing, or even, at an epidemiological level, to portray the quality of life of a population group, thereby allowing possible nutritional disorders and associated factors to be diagnosed. 3,18 Impaired linear growth, resulting in stunting during childhood and adolescence, can contribute towards low school performance, reduced physical capacity for work and transference of poverty to the next generations, especially in developing countries. 4 Moreover, recent studies have signaled that nutritional disorders during childhood are related to higher risk of obesity in adulthood, and higher occurrence of diseases and non-transmissible chronic injuries.…”

“…The assessment of children's growth is considered one of the best health and nutrition indicators, reflecting the interaction of numerous environmental factors beyond individual factors 1.2 . The diet, health and nutritional status of the mother, and particularly the occurrence of gastrointestinal infections, are said to be the main determinant of a child's growth 3 , reflecting the conditions of health, hygiene and nutrition in a given population 4 . The World Health Organisation (WHO), the Ministry of Health (MH) and the Brazilian society of Paediatrics (BSP), recommend the routine monitoring of growth in children, enabling the early diagnosis of possible nutritional deviations such as malnutrition, and being overweight or obese 5 .…”

“…The World Health Organisation (WHO), the Ministry of Health (MH) and the Brazilian society of Paediatrics (BSP), recommend the routine monitoring of growth in children, enabling the early diagnosis of possible nutritional deviations such as malnutrition, and being overweight or obese 5 . This growth monitoring is usually accomplished through anthropometric assessment of weight and height, which is a simple, non-invasive and low-cost process that evaluates size, proportions and the composition of the human body in all age groups 4 . Children must be evaluated, if possible, on a monthly basis in their first year of life, every two months in the second year, and each three months in the third year; this assessment should persist semi-annually at subsequent ages 6 .…”

“…Comparando-se os valores médios de estatura (cm) do presente estudo com os de estudo realizado em 2009 que inclui crianças de todas as regiões do país, observa-se semelhança com os valores medianos da população brasileira, segundo sexo e idade (meninos: 127,0; 132,0; 138,0 e 141,0 cm e meninas: 125,0; 131,0; 138,0 e 142,4 cm aos 7, 8, 9 e 10 anos, respectivamente) (BERGMANN, 2009).…”

“…Foi surpreendente encontrar nesta pesquisa pesos médios (kg) entre os valores dos percentis 50 e 90 do estudo de BERGMANN (2009), que apresenta dados para todas as regiões do Brasil para crianças aos 7, 8, 9 e 10 anos (meninos: P 50 26,0; 28,5; 30,5 e 32,5 kg e P 90 : 33,0; 38,7; 42,6 e 46,0 kg e meninas: P 50 25,0; 28,0; 30,5 e 34,0 kg e P 90 : 35,0; 37,0; 42,0 e 47,0 kg, respectivamente). Nesta pesquisa foram observados valores médios de peso (kg) iguais a: 29,9; 32,5; 37,1 e 41,5 (meninos) e 30,0; 31,2; 35,8 e 40,5 Calculando-se a diferença do peso (kg) médio aos 7 e aos 10 anos na presente pesquisa (11,6 kg, para meninos e 10,5 kg, para meninas) e no estudo de SILVA et al (2010), 6,5 kg para meninos e 9,0 kg para meninas, vê-se que para meninas a diferença é semelhante, indicando que em ambas as pesquisas o acúmulo de peso foi semelhante.…”
